Pendulum harmonic tremolo way more than unity gain

Just built the pendulum harmonic tremolo and I really like it. Anybody else notice that is is really loud?
I can only turn the volume up to 8 or 9 o'clock. Basically barely on.
Is this normal?
I'm getting ready to test some mods for a non harmonic adjustment of this circuit on a toggle switch and want to make sure I didn't bugger something up first.

Thank you

Chances are I did the 50K mod. I get unity just a hair past noon. To me, it would be perfect if all pedals with outputs level controls (and this should always be adjustable... ) were unity at noon. Most I buy or build are somewhere in the 11AM to 1PM range, so I'd say within parts tolerances possibly, but some do have dots to denote exactly where the unity is set.
 
Ah. I missed that in my research of the circuit. Thank you very much for the quick responses. I am excited about this circuit as it is similar to the vibroverb tremolo sound.
Add a timmy style circuit, a fender guitar or a big hollowbody, and it is a lot of fun!
